Hi,

2 Things would be really helpful.

1. When viewing my calendar, my events are not in order of start time. eg I have three events on Monday. One at 9.00 one at 17.00 and one at 19.00 but the 9.00 event is listed last, not first!

2. If I state that a work event has a duration of 10 days it puts a line through 10 consecutive days including weekends! - I don't want it to include weekend days when it does this as I don't work weekends. (note: I have unchecked the 'Sunday' and 'Saturday' tick boxes in the 'Calendar work week' preferences option.)

Help please!

I'm not able to reproduce your problem. When I change my time format my
morning events still display before my afternoon events.

The Calendar's time format is controlled by the *Long* time format found
under Apple menu --> System Preferences... --> International --> Formats
--> Times --> Customize... button.

If I click the hour I can see a drop-down menu and when I select the
hour to display as "0-23" everything displays properly for me. Check
this location on your Mac and see if changing anything makes a
difference. You'll need to quit Entourage between changes so that the
Calendar times refresh.
2. If I state that a work event has a duration of 10 days it puts a
line through 10 consecutive days including weekends! - I don't want
it to include weekend days when it does this as I don't work
weekends. (note: I have unchecked the 'Sunday' and 'Saturday' tick
boxes in the 'Calendar work week' preferences option.)

The tick boxes don't control how events themselves are displayed on your
Calendar. They only serve to help you visually differentiate your work
hours from your off-work hours when viewing your Calendar.

To not include weekends you'll need to create separate events for each
work week. Keep in mind that event Status can be marked as "Free" as
opposed to "Out of Office" or "Busy".

Hope this helps!
